Question

In a class test containing 20 questions, 5 marks are awarded for every correct answer and (-1) for every incorrect answer and 0 for the questions not attempted. Ram gets 8 correct answers and 5 incorrect answers. Then his score is ............ *

Answer 1

5 multiplied by 8= 40.

-1 multiplied by 5= -5.

So, 40+(-5) is the number of marks obtained.

Thus, the answer is 40-5= 35 marks.

Answer 2

Answer:

10

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Marks for each correct answer = 5

Marks for 8 correct answer by Ram = 5×8 = 40

Ram's total marks = 100

marks of incorrect answer = 100- 40 = 60

marks for each incorrect answer = (-1)

Number of incorrect answer = 60÷(-1) = (-60)
